Dr Gaidi Faraj: "Rwanda’s supportive environment played a crucial role in the academy’s rapid development....stability, openness to African diaspora professionals, and ease of establishing institutions allowed the school to launch in just one year." aoa.school/ “Our mission here is really about scaling impact. Research shows that students who participate in math Olympiads often go on to achieve extraordinary things. We want our students to be AI creators and developers so that Africa is not dependent on technologies built elsewhere.” en.igihe.com/education/artic…

It's day 7 of sharing African women who shaped the political and social fabric of our continent yet you may or may not know them. Today I am talking about Rebecca Allen Namugenze Mukasa, also known as Rebecca Mulira, was a Ugandan women's rights advocate and social activist. But mostly she was a panafrican and one of the pioneers of the Panafrican organization of African women in Addis Ababa in 1962 alongside Aoua Keita I talked on Day 3 Those who knew Rebecca described her as relentless. Again it takes relentlessness to be a woman in politics alongside your husband in the 50s and 60s while consistently asserting your own voice and individuality not as a wife of but as an activist yourself. Rebecca's legacy in Uganda is known in different women organizations she worked with, women councils she chaired and the social activism she carried within the government. And yet so little is also known about her. As we know women are not written properly in history, let alone African women

Ok, what was that???
